Expert Tips

This pie contains all the classic stroganoff ingredients, including mushrooms, onions and sour cream. While traditional stroganoff calls for slices of beef tenderloin or top loin, our pie is made with ground beef.

One cup of beef or mushroom gravy from a jar can be used in place of the dry soup mix and water.

Since beef stroganoff is often served with rice pilaf, prepare instant rice for a traditional side dish.
